The House of the Disappeared (2017) Fantasia 2017

Hearing weird noises a woman goes to the basement to find her husband dead and her young son sucked into a dark void. After going to jail for the murders she returns to her former home to try and find out what happened.

Okay supernatural mystery is nothing we haven’t seen before (even allowing the fact its a remake). While always entertaining it never truly thrills the way it should.

Blame the films technical quirks which require our heroine to wear a long gray wig that looks like a long gray wig and editing that seems to have everything happening a half step slower than the production of chills require.

While not a bad film this is more something to watch on a couch on a slow night instead of paying good money at a film festival.
